Shattered glass. Blood. Carcasses of bombed out buses. Broken bodies. Broken families and broken lives. This is the legacy of the Intifada.
Since the start of the second Intifada, through 2013 1,227 people have been killed by Palestinian terrorism . 8,549 more have been wounded. Each of these people has a name. And a story. And a family that loved them.
To "Support the Intifada" is to support the deaths of innocents.
The San Francisco based Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC) proudly supports the Intifada and the deaths of innocents.
From an AROC event- Stickers: "Support the Intifada" |
AROC, incidentally was one of the sponsors of a now notorious event at San Francisco State University where attendees were encouraged to make placards declaring "My heroes have always killed colonizers"
Lara Kiswani is the current Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center. At a BDS panel at UC Berkeley several months ago, Lara was quoted as saying, "Bringing down Israel really will benefit everyone in the world, and everyone in society." To a supporter of Israel who issued a tearful plea for co-existence, she snarled "As long as you continue to be on that side, I'm going to continue to hate you."
Lara's hateful rhetoric surprises no one. Hate speech, glorification of terror and genocide are commonplace at AROC sponsored events and rallies.
AROC and its allied organizations now have the Jewish Community Relations Council in their crosshairs accusing the group of "attacking " Arab, Palestinian and Muslim organizations, and calling the JCRC a 'narrow-minded, special interest group".

A brief glance at the JCRC website shows, in complete contrast to the extremist and hateful rhetoric of the AROC, a community organization deeply committed to justice for all.
JCRC today mourns the victims of last night’s horrific shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston, South Carolina. We share our condolences with their families and stand in solidarity with the African American community and AME churches across the nati

The moral inversion of AROC and their arrogant assault on a Jewish community institution proves what we've long suspected. Their vision of "Justice' is "Just us", and they are not a partner in building a more inclusive Bay Area.
